hey guys,
looking for some info on this as ive had no joy elsewhere.
im contemplating purchasing a mac pro, and am in reality only one step away from doing it.
the only reason im holding back right now is because i frequently need to flash my xbox 360's dvd drive.
currently this can only be done on a windows machine.
the process is like this;
1-install a sata pci card into pc.
2-use sata lead to connect pc to 360's dvd drive
3-boot pc from floppy/usb into dos and run a certain dos application
4-flash drive
5-disconnect
ill be using xp as the secondary o/s.
now, as far as im aware, you cant boot from usb into dos in boot camp.
and im not entirely sure that parallels can do it either.
my questions are;
1-can parallels boot from usb drive into dos?
2-can parallels detect pci cards? eg, the sata one i will be using.
notice-
i did a search before posting.
sorry for any 'silly' questions asked.
thanks for any and all help provided guys. : )
